Brownian Motion |
with Your Imaginary Friend |
Wednesdays 6-9pm PST |
| HELP SAVE KZSU's BAY AREA SIGNAL BEING THREATENED BY THE NEW KUSF TAKEOVER! WE'RE NOT KIDDING. IF THIS CORPORATE WOLF IN NON-PROFIT CLASSICAL MUSIC SHEEPS CLOTHING SUCCEEDS IT COULD ALSO MEAN THE END OF KZSU AND/OR KFJC. YES, YOU SHOULD BE ALARMED. CLICK HERE FOR DETAILS |
| Below is a demonstration of the Physical definition of Brownian Motion. It explains why if you were in a room that had zero air currents, circulation you'd still smell a fart cut all the way across. The way one event leads to another event in a random yet directed manner is also analogous to how I do my radio show each week: unplanned, spontaneous, organic and gassy. |
Hey! If you want a recording of ANY of my previous shows I can upload them for to you. I have MP3 192 kbps (high quality) versions from 2005-present and convertable cassettes from 2000-2005. Email me. |
Great KZSU djs/shows Every dj on KZSU is great. The following are ones that I think have no shame digging for that extra chunky musical booger (check our schedule as time slots change every quarter): |
| Ghost Trees with Adam. Dreamy trippy droney layered lovely. |
| meow with mr. esq. Theres good rockin' tonight, with a nod to garage and old school bands. If it leaves a trail like a snail even better! |
| Overkill Radio with D. Cannibal. Keeping the flag of metal, hardcore, punk flying over KZSU, amidst the throngs of zombie indie rockers, psyche, drone, noise, world, jazz, blues, country, undst undst undst-heads. |
| Blues With a Feelin' with The Byrd of Paradise Saturdays 9am-noon PST. (Blues. The good stuff. None of that front porch mumbo jumbo. Great interviews. This is the real deal. |
Other Great Radio Theres a lot of good radio on the web (and in the air in the greater bay area). Heres just a couple that I find myself enjoying constantly: |
| KXLU (Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles) (Exactly what college radio was put on earth for: challenging disparate irreverant quality programming with few annoying djs, great new music and fundamental old stuff. Even their indie rock programming doesnt suck. These days this station is reminding me why I got into college radio to begin with. I'm never disappointed when I jack-in.) |
| WKCR (Columbia University, New York City) (Mostly foundation jazz, but some of the afternoon programming during the week features the best avante, experimental, "new music", out there. Highly recommended.) |
| WNYU (New York University) (Good solid College Radio. Afternoons feature all the latest best releases. As Music Director I could screen the new releases that were still in envelopes at KZSU by listening. Good DJs, no "radio personality" jerk types, just a good College Radio Station.) |
| WFMU (Jersey City, NJ, i.e. NYC). (No ties to any University or other commercial/entrusted organization they have the freedom to discriminate. What they lack in sheer blundering youthful exuberance and new releases they make up for in heaping servings of quality strange programming, long rambling mic breaks and smug self-appreciating humor.) |
In the Bay Area (and on the Web) check out KFJC, KALX, and KUSF (see below). Look for Pirate Cat and West Side Radio too (unless you are the FCC). |
In So. Cal (and the Web) I also recommend KSPC and judicious sampling of KCRW. PLEASE help KUSF in their efforts to undo the underhanded backroom shenanigans that led to the elimination of their terrestial presence/transmitter at 90.3FM. This is an awful development that every free-thinking person should be disturbed by. A vital resource was simply sold for a paltry sum, like having your sister sold into a brothel for 5 bucks. The details are nauseating. Please help before all the stations I have listed here turn into McRadio too. |
